Reflecting on the magnificent cathedrals.

Great Monuments I asked… Great monuments to man, Pleasures, I see. But where, O where Are the tributes to Thee? He replied… Tis not in the stained glass, That pleases the eye.

Loving the English gardens!

The Garden A sanctuary of peace, Quiet and calm, Calls forth, beckoning me. To slow my pace, And sit awhile, Under the cool of the shade tree.

God works through people

God's Hand People racing frantically; Rushing to and fro, Overwhelmed by life’s struggles, Falling beneath each blow. Searching aimlessly for answers, Seeking joy, peace, and love, God looks down and wipes a tear, Grieving from above He has abundant love and peace But no one seems to know. Answers...

Life is meant to be reflected upon. If not, it becomes a blur of words and actions, minutes blending with days and days blending with years. Poetry has been one of my outlets; an avenue with which I can express my personal reflections.
